[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2940942, member: 10079"] Oh, I know why they do it...and I've been playing SWd20 since day 1, with a good amoutn of D6 experience beforehand. The problem becomes when a character doesn't have enough Skill Points to be good at either their regular skills or their Force skills. I've seen players go all directions...some with more focus on the normal, others more on the Force, and then some trying to balance them. Either way, this is where I see possibly the point where its hardest to emulate the movies/comics/books/etc. You cannot possibly have enough skill points to be able to do all the things that we see many Jedi/main characters doing. Yes, writeups for the characters are fairly good, but there's always something missing. Now, I will say this is a MINOR problem at most, and is something that can just be taken as others in the sense of "It has to be done for the sake of the game," but if there's anything that's really a problem with the way the Force works...that's it.
